Drake Jensen - The Son I'll Never Have lyrics

rate me

Writers: Jason James, Kim Copeland, & Michael Barrineau

I Woke up from a nap to a telephone call

From a voice I hadn’t heard since 3 years ago this fall

She cried as she told me bout the day she drove down

To that little clinic over in the next town

She said “I sat in my car in the pouring down rain

Trying to buy time, trying to find another way”

When she told me she couldn’t that’s when I broke down

And I hung up that phone thinking about

That tiny little hand wrapped around my finger so tight

That little voice calling daddy in the middle of the night

Fishing trips and little league games

Tying that tie before Church on Sundays

But I guess I’ll never get to do that

Cause The Son I Always Wanted

Is the son I’ll never have

I could sit here forever trying to place the blame

But it's no use it still ends up the same

Life throws us curves but we all do the best we can

But I’ll always wonder about what might have been

Like High school football and his first date

Waking up worried when stays out too late

His first time behind the wheel in my old car

Him asking daddy how far is too far

But I guess I’ll never get to answer that

Cause The Son I Always Wanted

Is the son I’ll never have

Woke up from a nap to a telephone call

From a voice I hadn’t heard since 3 years ago this fall
